To be honest, I haven't watched Robotech, but I recall the name being used a lot more in the novels. Still, I did forget the biggest reason for the trademark - Harmony Gold has the distribution rights to SDF Macross itself, and they released the DVDs under this name.
I do wonder though whether the Macross section had been only known as the First Generation, or if the "Macross Saga" tag had been used as well. As far as I can tell, it seems to differ depending on the product: the novels only used the "First Generation" tag, while other products would use the Macross name (the Palladium RPG just called the main book "Macross").

Maybe, but Macross City itself did play a very large role in the series; a thematic point given further emphasis by the novels.
